The International Women's Meditation Collective Foundation was established to uplift women in the Buddhist tradition — providing pathways for women and girls to access meditation, Dhamma education, and full ordination as Bhikkhunis. We believe that when women are empowered through spiritual education and leadership, communities thrive and the teachings of the Buddha spread more widely and deeply. Approved by the Thai government on September 20, 2010, IWMCF has been a beacon for Bhikkhuni empowerment across the region and beyond.
